Google finally talks Fuchsia OS - not as ambitious as we thought

11 May 2019
The topic of the mystery OS finally came up at Google I/O. Apparently its more experiment than practical project at this point.

so basically Google is trying to collect our data from all devices

    I just want this progress to stop, but it seems USA won't stop until everything we know is connected and uploading data.

    I don't know but I will never ever make my home connected to this IOT.

      With simple words ...Google is trying to discontinue any further interest on Android possible downplaying Android to focus its future on fuchsia

              I was frightened of this, that it maybe for small devices. They really needed to tank android and chrome. As it is for internet of things, it is bloated. My own core design was a minute fraction, 25 or so years ago, for such devices.

              As an experimental test bed, they should have written their own. It is hard for people to imagine what they are not use to. Trying to talk to app people about OS design, OS people about embedded OS design, embedded about what is smaller than that often is. You have to design things again. It's very useful on the android or desktop level when redesigned. The people I know doing internet of things are doing stuff you could use on smart communicative dust networks. Processors thousands of transistors inside, in processing arrays working off of hundreds of hundreds of words of memory (just the array processors) with dynamic execution, at such low power vibrations and movement could soon power the processors.

                  If so, I'll move to iOS.

                    I wish there was more of Smartphone operating systems available today beside just Android & iOS. I had a brief outing with Sailfish OS 2.0 on a lower end hardware and it was cool at that time, the only problem was the lack of native applications but it had provision for Android Applications. Unfortunately I sold the phone due to lack of VoLTE. I heard Sailfish OS 3.0 is out. But there's no device out there with it. I simply don't want another OS from Google. I'd buy in an instant if a new phone with Sailfish OS is launched. :(

                        Never liked the UI anyways. They should stay with Android instead and improve it. Especially in terms of modularity and upgradability, like Project Treble and all those things.

                            Excellent. Android is what we need. More improved, the better

                                Fuschia was supposed to be some completely controlled Google sandbox. Thank god that the wet dream tech sites and their users won't come true. If the only popular open source based OS (android) was to be replaced by a cookie cutter closed source variant we'd really enter into a dystopic timeline. With Android you can always install AOSP and have complete control of your device, you can't do the same with Chrome OS (you have to remove it completely and install something else in its place), thank god that *that* form of device governance is not coming to phones via fuschia. That was a close one and an ominous sword above us for the last few years ... phewwww. Of course tech sites report this as something negative, but to them negative is anything that gives freedoms to people. To them freaking Apple, the company that tells you how to breathe and why to breathe is lauded there, so no surprises....

                                  This thing deserves a meme, that one with the children laughing of another child and it could say: "look those are the editors who thought Fuchsia was meant to replace Android jajaja", something línea that.

                                    "things that we learn from Fuchsia we can incorporate into other products." We saw what happened with Inbox. What made Inbox so interesting wasn't incorporated into Gmail. Or only a subset was incorporated, which left Inbox users unhappy.
